Memory Verse:
And I also say to you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Matt16: 18. (NKJV)
INTRODUCTION
The true church of Jesus Christ has a glorious, victorious future in the word, in the air, in the kingdom, and in eternity; it cannot fail. "The gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." (Matt.16: 18).
However it is also interesting to discover that what the physical children or nation of Israel was and still is to God is what the spiritual Israel the "Church" is to Jesus Christ today. How do we know that? See 2Cor 11:2; Eph 5:22-33.
STUDY:
- . The future of the church in the world.
At Pentecost the Holy Spirit set the course for the church as it journeys from the upper room to the Rapture, It is to:
- Preach the Gospel (Matt.28: 19-20, Acts.1:8)
- Wage war (Eph.6: 10-18).
- Run a race (Heb12: 1- 2.)
- Work in love (1Cor 3:9)
- Impact and influence the world (Matt.5: 13-16)
The church of Jesus Christ will emerge triumphant for Ħ°we are more than conquerors through Him who loved usĦħ (Rom 8:35-39). The church cannot fail because Christ is its head, the Holy Spirit is its power, and the Word of God is its guide. In our next lesson, we are going to see the future of the Church in the air during rapture.
